My Dad has a pontiac montana that is falling apart but he won’t buy a new vehicle because he is afraid to turn loose of any money with boy blunder in the white house.

Yeah, I'm having financial nightmares myself, I have a 1994 Ford Exploder I need to fix to get past vehicle inspection (although I know a few people, cough, cough) but I can only do it peacemeal. Either that or I buy a 1985 Olds Cutlass Ciera with the 2.5L Iron Duke in good shape. A friend's grandfather drove it until he passed away at 103, he still had his license. Except for some Hyundai's, the Dodge Charger or Challenger and the Ford Mustang, I'm not a fan of today's cars, they have too much (as my Mom would say) "Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon stuff" in them. I prefer pre-airbag cars. If I hit the powerball or something bigtime, I'll put my 1977 Mercury Cougar on the road.

Yeah, the economy sucks I work in auto parts. People are keeping their jalopies more. I know a guy whose 1995 Pontiac engine blew and he had to go back to using a 1979 Plymouth Volaire he hadn't started in 15 years. All it needed was an alternator and battery and he was good to go.

Still every time Dad rides in my Merc Grand Marq. he goes on how he loves that car and wouldn’t mind having one.

I'd love to get my hands on a 1983 Grand Marquis.
